Clearwater Lagoon Villa - The Perfect Beachside Island Getaway Location

Fantastic accommodation that had everything we needed, margie was very helpful, spoke with her on the phone after we arrivedWouldnt hesitate to book againRarotonga defiantly captured out hearts.

Booked this bach with a little trepidation, since our previous stays were on the south coast with more inclusive service. The house turned out to be superbly convenient from the airport and finding it was easy. Communication was very good, despite no in-person contact with the owners. The house is not new, but is well maintained with two good-sized bedrooms and a generous living area. It accommodated 4 adults very comfortably, with no-one tripping over each other. The canopy area facing the beach was very useful for hanging up all our wet gear after snorkelling and plenty of room remained for outdoor meals etc. The house is not directly on the beach, but you can see it through the trees and walk to it in 30 seconds. Keen snorkellers should know that the lagoon in this area is a little shallower than at other places on the island, so it is good to be aware of tides. However, I was pleasantly surprised at how much snorkelling we could do, and the fish life is as abundant as anywhere else. The shallowness also makes the water very warm and safe for beginners. The only negative thing we had to say about the bach is that it is listed on bookabach as having air conditioning. It does not. There are ceiling fans in the bedrooms and living space which are effective to a degree, but this is not air conditioning. The listing should be amended accordingly.

It was a great location , fantastic sunsets, lovely beach for swimming , walking distance to several restaurants, a lovely spacious house with a great deck area.

Loved our stay in the Cook Islands and definitely want to return , however was a little disappointed in the house. Floor was not cleaned , was very dusty. The main lounge is stained and needs to be replaced as it is very uncomfortable, as does 2 of the ceiling fans ( and you really need them due to the heat). Photo’s of the beach are not the like that when you get there , the coral and rocks are all the way to the waters edge . We did enjoy our stay , however the photo’s are not a true representation of the property.
